Or, rather, telling people that today's problems are merely "perceived" ones and that we should still make children, and the rest of it. He said "Where would future American scientists come from otherwise?" (something to that effect)
So I wrote him an e-mail about offshoring. Got no response; he had an answer to every perceived problem... except offshoring.
I couldn't care who devised any potential cure. What bothers me is why in so-called "globalization", which suggests an expansion for the ENTIRE world, why

FWIW, it's good to see real progress. I just wanted to refrain from wandering into the "it's all offshored" and "who's going to want to buy it" tangent while not mentioning the "There's no profit in a cure" cynicism angle either... too late for that one, but nobody's perfect.
